Your Google Business Profile is About to Change Here's Why

Welcome to AI Marketing Experts, the show where smart marketers use AI to work smarter, not harder.

In this episode, we unpack why Ask Maps is overtaking traditional GBP Q&A, what the new AI-mode local SERP looks like, and how to protect your visibility with on-site FAQs + schema. We also show real-world workflows with Gemini 3 (Android Auto + Google Home), Google Slides “Beautify,” NotebookLM, and Perplexity Comment as an agent browser for ops automation.

You’ll see what actually works day-to-day—like prepping your website so Google’s AI can quote you, using car voice search to understand real local intent, and turning meeting notes into checklists inside ClickUp and Google Sheets.
